LOCAL BY DESIGN
Remove photo GPS, without the upload step
A photo taken with location services enabled may include GPS coordinates in its EXIF metadata. Those coordinates can reveal where a picture was captured, even when the location is not visible in the image itself. This tool inspects JPEG metadata locally and redraws selected photos into fresh copies without the original EXIF block.
The page reports whether it found EXIF or a GPS tag in each supported JPEG before processing. Tag inspection is a local check and does not contact a location service. Browser decoding applies the stored orientation, so the output should appear upright even though orientation metadata is removed.
Metadata standards and file formats vary. This basic inspector checks JPEG EXIF GPS pointers; it is not a forensic audit of every possible metadata format. For sensitive material, verify the exported copy with a second trusted metadata viewer before publishing or sharing it.
Files are decoded and processed on your device. They are not uploaded to an ImageKit server, and the original files are never overwritten.
How it works
- 01
Select JPEG photos and review the local metadata scan.
- 02
Remove metadata by processing fresh pixel-based copies.
- 03
Download and verify the copies before sharing sensitive images.
Frequently asked questions
Does the scan expose my location?
No. The scan only checks the local JPEG metadata for an EXIF GPS pointer and does not read or transmit coordinates.
Are non-JPEG files checked for GPS?
This inspector currently identifies EXIF GPS tags in JPEG files; other formats may carry metadata differently.
Are my images sent anywhere?
Your image stays in this browser tab. Processing runs locally on your device; the image file is not sent to an ImageKit server.
